BETTER LIFE Source: SPCA BC “All animals come with potential risks,” warns Sandy. “We can minimise risks with horses by wearing the correct shoes and a helmet, for starters. We always keep an eye on the horses’ demeanour and understand their limits so that they can warn us long before they reach them. It's our job to respect the horses’ needs and remove either the horse or the child from the situation if necessary. In most cases, we avoid feeding horses by hand during a session, as they can become very pushy and demanding. For this reason, we keep all treats until the very end.” “Working with horses is not for everyone and not something you can just step into without a deep understanding of the animal,” comments Sandy. “In addition to specific training programmes, there's a lot of support in this field offered both locally and internationally right now. | enjoy training alongside specialists when | get the opportunity. “As a passionate horse rider since the age of four, horses have always been my safe and happy place and | love sharing this feeling of joy and peace with others. | started earning pocket money by teaching when | was 15 years old, which included leading the horseback riding in an American Summer Camp. After 40 years, the horses still teach me something new every day,” smiles Sandy. = Sourses: https://eatasa.co.za; https://www.ethology.co.za/jm/; https://www.eagala.org/equine-therapy-certification/
